Since its Monday, i decided to change the color of my nails. I with a coat of red nail polish and silver glitter. However, this was not my first choice, I originally wanted to do nail art, however after the third attempt to make snowflakes and failing, I decided to just go with red and silver glitter, since I think its easy and also a little festive.

Red : Essence Color & Go 114 Fame Fattal

Silver: American Apparel Light Year

(Also, I want to apologize, for the horrible quality of the pictures.)

I got this a couple of weeks back, and I absolutely love it. The cream is quite thick, but it sinks in quickly. It hydrates the skin. It says "Amazingly-effective dry skin formula" on the bottle, and it sure is amazingly effective, it leaves your skin soft and hydrated.
The scent is Mist you Madly, which I this is a lovely scent. I am a big fan of all of the Soap and Glory scents, and this one is probably one of my favorite, I love it so much. It is a sweet scent, but its not too sweet.
So, overall i love this product, and i highly recommend it.

Today, I'm going to tell you about some fun stuff that I have been loving this month, pretty random stuff actually not related to fashion or beauty, just some things that I have been doing and loving. I will, however write a blog post on my fashion and beauty favorites, but not any time soon, because I still have a lot of online shopping to do.

This week has been extremely stressful for me, I've had so much work to do, my exams are in less than two weeks and today is probably the worst, because I have 3 History assignments, 2 English assignments, Economics homework and 4 test due tomorrow, so I should probably be doing my work, but instead I'm writing a blog post.

I'm going to share with you a couple of things that I've really been loving :

1) Christmas Movies:

I have this weird obsession with Christmas films, they are so gleeful and carefree. They just make me so happy, haha. I have a lot of favorites, and "Elf" is one of them. I've seen this a lot of times, its the funniest movie ever, I bet most of you have seen it and if you haven't you really should. Its one of those movies that you don't get tired of watching.

2) Music:

I'm not sure you know this, but I love Ariana Grande. My first blog post was about how much I adore her. I love her style, admire her as an actress, her voice is perfect and she is a lovely person. I wrote a essay on her for my English class lol. Anyway she just came out with two new songs, Last Christmas and Love Is Everything, and there both amazing.

Midnight Memories is out OMG! I love One Direction so much! This is one of my favorite albums, In my opinion it is the best One Direction album out yet, but the other two were also incredibly good. Anyway I have the whole album on repeat, I love it!

3) My Tumblr

I could spend a whole day on Tumblr, I love looking at all the cute pictures and then re-blogging them on to my page. Here are some of my sample pictures on Tumblr (http://arianatorxoo.tumblr.com/)

I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please leave comments down below, and tell me what all you like to do in your free time or just some random things you've been liking.

Hello everyone, Something that i have been wanting to talk to you lovely people about are my exams, the main reason i want to talk to you about this is that due to my exams i will be blogging less frequently, i will still do one or two posts, but that's it for now. Please don't un-follow me i promise as soon as my exams end which is in December everything will be back to normal.Exams:My exams are 2 weeks away and i still haven't started studying, I'm really freaking out and i need to get serious. I have decided that from tomorrow (Monday) i will make a time table for myself and be more organized. For those of you who are about to have your exams and have the same problem as i do, i think you just need to learn to say no to distractions, sit down and force yourself to study and once you get the hang of it, it wont be that hard.Another thing i want to talk about is studying too hard, which is the opposite of what i was talking about before, don't kill yourself trying to get an A, its not worth it. Like my father always says "just do your best, and leave the rest up to God" ha <3. Its true though don't just sit there and not study at all, study hard, but not too hard. What i mean by studying "too hard" is staying up all night and studying and then not feeling well the next day, because you haven't slept all night. Do not do this, i did this the last time i had my exams and trust me its not worth it and afterwards you will regret it.What you should do is study hard, give yourself breaks, remain positive, sleep at least 6 hours, because your body needs sleep to function and eat well don't eat too much or too less. When i was giving my exams i would not eat at all, i would always end up getting a headache and then i could not concentrate while studying and giving my exam, so don't do that to yourself either.

One last thing that i would like to add is that certain people do certain things to help them study, a very common example would have to listening to music. Listening to music really helps me study, however some people find it distracting. There are so many examples, like for me i find it easier to study while sitting on my bed, and for some people sitting on a proper chair with a desk in front of them, helps them get in study-mode. So everyone does different things to help themselves concentrate. Comment down bellow and tell me what you do, and also leave some study/exam tips for me in the comments, i would love to read them.

I love lush so much, and this lip scrub is probably my favorite thing right now. This has been raved about by almost every beauty blogger out there. I was so excited to own this when i bought it a while back.

This not only smells exactly like bubblegum, but tastes like it as well. The smell is delicious and most of the times i would end up licking the scrub off my lips. I always have dry and chapped lips and around winter time they become even more dry and chappy. I have used a lot of products for my lips, but none of them have helped as much as this lip scrub.

It feels kind of funny at first when you put it on, because you have sugar particles on your lip, but it tastes and smells amazing and afterwards your lips are really soft and pink. This is my favorite lip product and i recommend this to everyone who has not got this yet, do yourselves a favor and get it, because its perfect. Also this is the perfect time to buy this, because its winter and your lips normally dry up and get chapped, so to stop that from happening just use this and your lips will stay smooth and soft.

This also comes in other flavors, but i haven't tried them so i can't really say anything about them. This one, however is exceptionally good and I'm in love with it right now.

I have been loving this chocolate. It tastes amazing and looks super cute

I have been wearing this collar with all my plain sweaters. It makes plain sweaters look much nicer, It looks so cute that i have to wear it every time i wear a plain sweater. I got this as a gift, so I'm not sure where its from, but i know you can get one just like this from Asos (just a little bigger) : http://www.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2899137

These are so adorable, they are heart shaped (unscented) candles. I don't light them, because i want them to last forever. :3

Next is my Benefit Makeup. I love my Benefit makeup, Benefit is one of my favorite makeup brands along with Nars and Too Faced <3 I've been using Benefit make up a lot lately. I love the primer "Stay Flawless" it leaves your skin looking really smooth and 'flawless', the neutral eye shadow pallet is perfect, the 2 cream eye shadows are the best they blend really easily and are so fun to use. The Erase paste is also lovely, it lasts a long time and it gives full coverage. I wear "Hello Flawless" (powder) to school everyday, it works on its own, there is no need for a liquid foundation. "Dandelion" is a great highlighter, it leaves a beautiful subtle glow and color.

A show i have been recently watching is friends. I know most people has seen this and finished watching all the seasons, but sadly i have not. So I bought the first season a week back, and i love it, its so hilarious, i could just spend a whole day in bed watching this show.

These are a couple of my favorite things at the moment. I'm going to be doing a favorites part two blog post soon, because I have a lot of favorites right now. :P

A trend that I've been crazy in love with is the skater skirt trend. I think skater skirts look so adorable, i love them <3 Skater skirts look really cute with crop tops. Topshop is a good store to buy skater skirts from, because they have one in almost every color.

I've got the biggest style crush/girl crush on Ariana Grande, I love her voice, personality and style. Her style is beautiful. i love everything she wears. I've always considered myself to be a girly girl, because i love dresses and skirts, the color pink and the Disney princesses (I know how childish that sounds, but its true). So when i first saw Ari on Victorious i instantly fell in love with her style. I love Ari also, because of her personality and her voice. She literally has a voice of an angel. Her new album came out recently 'Yours Truly', i think everyone should go buy it, because its amazing. Ariana is also really close to all her "Arianators" she loves us and we love her <3 Shes always on her twitter trying to talk to all her fans and she tries to follow as many of us as she can.
